It is that time of year. The time in which you have to decide which pan dulce you like the most!

Each year we have come out on the usual lists of the best pan dulces, but who really needs a list when you can just try them yourself? Now for those of you who love variety, we have 5 different flavors to choose from:

Chocottone - We take our moist dough and fill it with semi-sweet chocolate chunks. If you are a chocolate lover, this one is for you.

Dulce de Leche - Super moist panettone with actual chunks of dulce de leche in the dough, decorated with chocolate on top and more dulce de leche.

Traditional - For those of you who just want the classical pan dulce of your childhood. We add glazed fruits, raisins and some dried fruits as well.

Inolvidable - Unforgettable in English. This is our star panettone. We add almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, walnuts, raisins and candied orange peel all nestled in a moist dough made with orange blossom water and malt.

They say third time's the charm, but we have been rather lucky with our Annual BA Chili Cook Off. This is the third year and each year it just keeps growing. The first year we expected 100 people to show up, 300 showed up! The second year we expected 500, 700 showed up! This time we should be a around 1,000 people. It's a little harder to gauge because it is on Father's Day, but what father wouldn't like a family festive atmosphere tasting good food, with artisan beer surrounded by friends and family?

There are three ways to participate: Va a ver tres formas de participar:

1. Eat / Comer

2. Cook / Cocinar

3. Judge / Juzgar

1. Eat - You just show up at 2pm, buy tickets at the door that are good for purchasing chili, beer, water, wine from Anuva Wines, cookies fromSugar & Spice, cornbread,El TejanoHot Sauces, etc. The tickets are sold in books of $100 at the door and inside we will have further books of $50. The tickets are in $5 and $10 peso denominations.

2. Cook - If you think no one makes chili quite like you do, then step up and show us how it's done. There is a $100 fee that goes right into the Cook's Prize Pot. The more cooks we have, the bigger the potential cash prize for this prize! Besides, the cooks have a blast during this whole thing! The cooks will get a free 1ltr of beer, an official BA Chili Cook Off and SACS apron and goodies from Sugar & Spice.

3. Judge - If you think you know chili and you want to give each and every chili a try, and have a lot of fun doing it, then you need to apply for a judge position. We are asking for a donation of $300. You show up 2 hours ahead of the crowd and blind taste the best chili in Buenos Aires!

The Annual BA Chili Cook Off is held to raise money to be donated to NGO's. This year we are working once again with SACS - Send a Child to School. Founded in 1999, SACS, a non-profit organization, helps underprivileged children in Buenos Aires. Specifically, SACS provides essential school supplies (backpacks, lab coats, shoes, paper, pens, etc.) to these children so that they are ready to learn on the first day of school.

We also organize this event to have fun, to share in that fun, and as a way to share our culture with our new neighbors.También lo organizamos para divertirnos, para compartir en la diversión y para compartir un poco de nuestra cultura con ustedes, nuestros nuevos vecinos.
